An infusion machine does the two hours of pan watching for you. The NOIDS Herb Lab holds oil or butter with herbs at 100 °C (212 °F) for about 120 to 180 minutes, then runs its fan until the heating surface is down to 50 °C (122 °F) and beeps. You load the Glass, turn one dial and come back to a finished batch.
Both bundles below include the machine. Both sets are spare parts for it. Pick by what you make most.
What this oil infuser machine does
-
Oil and butter. Rosemary olive oil, chilli oil, garlic and thyme butter. The Oil function takes any liquid cooking oil or cooking butter.
-
Flavour extracts. The Evaporation function reduces vanilla or ginger steeped in food-grade ethanol at up to 102 °C (215.6 °F), about 50 ml per hour. The Condenser collects the ethanol for the next batch.
-
Straining. The Filter Set presses the oil out of the herbs into your jar. The Glass Pipette collects the last of it.
-
Cleaning. The Glass and the Filter Set go in the dishwasher.
